I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

View allI've been experiencing some mild chest pain and discomfort when I breathe. It's a bit concerning, and I'm wondering what could be causing this. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that could resolve on its own? Could it be related to stress, or should I get it checked out immediately?

I'm really worried about my blood pressure. It's always around 15090. My dad has had hypertension from a young age too. I don't smoke or anything, so I'm kinda surprised it's this high. Could this be genetic, or is there something else I'm missing? Should I be doing something different to bring it down?
Based on your blood pressure readings and family history of hypertension, it is important to monitor and manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, and stress management techniques. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help lower your blood pressure. A common medication for hypertension is Losartan, starting at a dose of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
